All my rods are unexpensive ones, most of the rods I fish are home made. I usually build on pac bay blanks, one has a Dorber blank. These are inexpensive components. I don't think, that a blank (or rod) which costs 5 times more, gives me 5 times more satifaction on streamside , or will cast 5 times longer. Same counts for reels, as long as I do not need the drag. (For Salmon, pike, ...) DIfferent is the situation with hackle, quality hackle like from Dennis or Whiting gives you definitely a lot more fun tying a fly.
Maybe the same with waders.... Rene Jimmy D.
